Smile Sets Everything!

Hello everyone!Welcome back to my tiny little space :)

Today I'm sharing a card inspired by the song - Boyzone 'Words'. I love that song and I took the main word 'Smile'. Yep!'Smile for everything' - whether you are happy or going through any rough situations, just 'smile' because it sets everything straight. :)

To make this card, I sponged the card stock panel with Manganese Archival Ink. And to get that wash of colour, I have a tip for you. Just spray any perfume or deodorant on to the Archival or non-water based inks - the alcohol in the perfume/deodorant reacts with the ink and gives that wash effect just as distress inks. :)

Then I added splatters of gold paint. On to some vellum card stock, I stamped the leaves from Altenew Floral Motifs stamp set and colored them with gold paint,fussy cut them and kept it aside. Later I cut two strips of card stocks, colored one of the strips with gold paint and the other with light blue ink. Finally stamped the sentiment and adhered everything together.
